Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 12 ounces Dr Pepper soda
- 2 tablespoons Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 piece Maraschino cherry (optional)
Instructions
Start by chilling your serving glass in the freezer for 10-15 minutes beforehand to ensure your float stays cold and refreshing.
Remove the chilled glass and add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream directly into it.
Slowly pour 12 ounces of Dr Pepper soda over the ice cream, tilting the glass slightly to reduce foam overflow.
Pause halfway through pouring to allow the fizzy foam to settle. Continue pouring the soda until the glass is full.
Optional: Top your Dr Pepper Float with a dollop of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry for extra flair.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy every fizzy, creamy scoop!
